Lol at this nova

Mmm

i would buy it, if i had the money.

Then laugh at it.

Can I just ask, why would you put 17k worth of stuff in that car, when the car itself isn't even worth a quarter of that!!?
(Im guessing thats what is mean't when there is "17k worth of receipts")

I like cars that are "done up" :S

There's no need for 8 exhausts.. there's no way there's enough space in that care to pipe out 8 exhausts.

It's one piped from the manifold and split.

I don't like K&N anyway, BBK is much better quality.

2L engine? That's all.. why not put a Ford Racing 5.0L v8 in there, and we'll call it a day.

Plus it's just got the original exhaust manifolds on it, same pulleys, everything.. you're not going to get hardly any speed out of it.

Put some BBK short tuned exhaust headers, fender CAI system, new engine cover (that one looks like ****), the manifold in that looks like **** too ;P

Here's you three real engines..

sorry but lol,

it's a 2l engine yeah but it's a 16v turbo, granted it's not as amazing as your ford v8 but it'll really fly. think about it, it's a 2l 16v in a car that weighs as much as a fart (granted without all the stupid crap added to it) but it'll really fly, get a nova and put that engine in it, it'll be super fast especially if you strip everything out, seats, door cards, spare wheel, heaters, etc etc.

and it's also not all about how big the engine is, american cars generally have bigger engines to cope with the bigger highways and that but thats not really what drivings about, it's about the little windy country roads.. you don't really have fun going in a straight line. american cars also have a history of crap handling and being quite heavy.

oh and for the record that car is disgusting, back in the max power days it'd probably be nice but it's well ott.

yeah, to a certain extent i like 'done up cars' - but not completely modified cars, try to keep it as oem+ as possible.. something you could turn up to a dinner party in ;) if I had a nova i'd put some standard corsa wheels on it powdercoated black, lower it and tune the engine.
